Fig. 73.—The hyposthenie to sthenic habitus, a sub-type. In this sub-form the char-acteristics of the hyposthenie (Fig. 69) are dominant though the figure and alimentarypeculiarities are somewhat more sthenic (Fig. 68) than in the pure hyposthenie. Thus theintercostal angle is wider, the position of the stomach higher and its tonus more marked.(Mills.) fiflo PHYSICAL EXAIIIXATION OF ORdAXS OF THORAX work tliat has already liceii recognized, namely Stillers descrip-tion of his asthenic and sthenic types and Schlesingers classifi-cation of stomach forms into liypertonic, ortliotonic, hypotonic,and atonic.
